BREATHING THE FIRE Fighting to Report--and Survive--the War in Iraq

CBS News Correspondent Kimberly Dozier was critically injured in a bomb blast in Baghdad on Memorial Day 2006. The explosion killed two members of her crew and several members of the Army unit she was embedded with that day. Her book recounts those events and her struggle to recover. Her narration is clear, which is to be expected from a network correspondent, but her tone is not evening-news remote. She lets emotion rise in her voice, particularly when she describes her encounters with the families of blast victims. As indicated by the book's subtitle, she also traces the inner strength that helped her overcome obstacles in her profession and in her recovery.
